The Massachusetts senator said he would not allow anyone to question his fitness for the White House. "Not gonna do it, not gonna happen," Kerry said. "I will not have my commitment to defending this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they had a chance, and I will not have it questioned by those who misled this nation into war in Iraq."
Kerry said Republicans had distorted his 20-year record in the U.S. Senate, including his vote authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein and his subsequent vote against $87 billion to fund operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. "All this negative advertising, blah blah blah," Kerry said. "It turns people off."
He ridiculed the administration's August job numbers that showed the unemployment rate dropped from 5.5 percent to 5.4 percent with the addition of 144,000 new jobs. "At the rate that this administration is creating jobs, you're not going to have a net plus-one job in the state of Ohio until the year 2011," he said.

This year he said he really admired the first President Bush for the great coaltion.
He recently said he voted against the first gulf war on the advice of his daughter. Not sure which one.....but you get the idea.
Saddam does not rule America Mr. Kerry.
No kidding. And to have a hangover on top of it all.
Did anyone hear the guy who sat in for Rush today? He had a journalist on (can't recall the name) who had done research, and found that Kerry WAS at the VVAW meetings where some very serious discussions were held about the assassination of US senators.
> "I will not have my commitment to defending this

Except that it's being questioned not by his straw men,
but by those who not only served, but kept serving after
he fled the field and defected to the enemy.
Doesn't this sound an awful lot like Queen Victoria's "We are not amused"?
I thought it was a parody of George H W Bush from years ago.
When you question Kerry's medals he responds, "I will not have my commitment to..."
When you question Kerry's mental stability he responds, "I will not have my commitment to a court-ordered insanity hearing..."
>>>>Incredible. Makes one wonder what more Kerry has to hide.

POWs IN LAOS: SOME STILL SURVIVE HELP BRING THEM HOME

On April 16, five members of the Select Committee -- Senators Kerry, Smith, Robb, Brown and Grassley -- embarked on a ten-day mission to Southeast Asia. Members of the delegation spent three days in Vietnam. Their purpose was twofold: first, to obtain the necessary assurances of cooperation from senior Vietnamese leaders; and, second, to ensure that those guarantees of access would be carried out.

Hardly likely. In 1971, two years before any peace agreement, John Kerry, a Vietnam veteran who became a peace activist, said that ``points'' presented by Hanoi-Vietcong delegations in Paris, and their conversations with him and other Americans, showed prisoners would be returned. So, he said, the U.S. should not ``stall'' any longer.
...you're not going to have a net plus-one job in the state of Ohio until the year 2011.
Huh? The way I see it any time there would be a decrease in the unemployment rate there would need to be a net gain in employment-(or a "net + 1 job")-unless you just have a constantly expanding population pool of working people.
It appears he has somehow extrapolated the .1 % drop off to the number of mnths it would require to get "below" zero. That should be 4.5 years or 2009. He must throw in some other factor. But what is a negative unemployment rate? What am I missing here?
Hey, those are fighting words to a born and raised Buckeye.....! And proud of it. I wouldn't live ANYWHERE else.
Believe it or not, Fox showed clips of him during the day today and he's taking this rant on the road.
Nope, it wouldn't be prudent....
Dana Carvey impersonating President Bush 41.
"We're not going to cut and run and not do the job."
Obviously "not" an English major.
It isn't the advertising, Senator Kerry. It's you.
THAT was funny!!
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
